WHILE there is unanimity of sentim ent among stockmen regarding the necessity of Territorial organization, there is also an evident disposition to procrastinate its formation until serious emergency compels immediate action. In the mean time the stock interests must suffer in many ways, until by concert of action the needed relief is secured. The Terri torial Board of Equalization will soon be called upon to fix the assessment rate of cattle and horses, and these interests should be ntelligentlya represented be- fore that body. A territorial association is required for many reasons, and we urge upon the stock men the necessity of effecting an early organization to protect their interests

MIDSUMMER IS almost at hand and with
 its approach comes the great Florence canal so soon to bring to the broad ex- panse of fertile mesa lands between Flor
 ence and the railroad an abundant sup
 ply of water from the Gila river. Along It's route there is still plenty of public land for entry, all of it rich, fertile and desirable. The capacity of this canal is calculated to adequately supply water to irrigate nearly one hundred and fifty thousand acres of land that is capable of growing almost any known product of the soil not strictly tropical in it's nature.
 Of this amount over fifty thousand acres have already been entered and from the universal inquiry concerning it every acre will pass into the possession of set tiers before the present year ends. A few years hence the present forbidding appearance of this misnamed desert will be changel into picture of infatuating beauty and grandeur, where many thous- ands of happy homes will nestle amid vines, flowers and trees, possessing love- liness that will not suffer in comparison with the accepted perfection of Eden's charming foliage. There are persons, of course, who are skeptical concerning the ability of the canal to obtain sufficient water for it's purposes, but their opinions are, most likely, based upon a lack of knowledge of the facts. The present summer is probably the nearest approach to an absolute exhaustion of the sources of water supply that has ever been not ed, and yet the flowing water in the Gila Is largely running to waste beneath the porous sands. This, too, is the season preceding the usual summer rains and when but little irrigation is required fol the reason that the harvesting of the crops is not yet all completed. So far as the quantity of water is concerned there need be nc fear; but as the future de lnands new supplies for increased acreage of reclaimed lands, it may b, found nee e.sary as a matter of econe ny to erect

French Invasion of the Caucasus.

The peaceful invasion Of the Caucasus by means of foreign capital proceeds in serious and threatening manner. It is not enough that the French Rothschilds should have laid hands on the richest vineyards in the Caucasus, as well as the petroleum wells, and that French com pany should have acquired the immense estate of Otschemtsehir from Prince Schervasclridse, butinow the magnificent estate of Prince Turgieff has passed into the hands of two enterprising English men, who know the value of the clay de- posits, and are about to erect important porcelain manufactures there. A syndi- cate of French doctors are also about to establish an important and attractive Etablissenent des Bains near Batoum, and ill other parts of the Caucasus. The exploitation of the mineral riches of the district is being successfully pursued en-
 tirely by foreigners. The immense coal deposits ill the neighborhood of Samtred and the sulphur pits in the district of Akhalzych are already in the possession of Frenchmen.-Novo Vremya.

Trouble AheaG.

When the, apPetite fails, and sleep grows restless and unrefreshing, there is trouble ahead. The digestive organs, when healthyI crave food; the nervous system, whels vigorous and tranquil, gives its possessor no uneasiness at night. A tonic, to be effective, should net-be 8 mereappetizer, nor are the nerves to be
 trengthened and sootmed by the unaided action of sedative or narcotic. What is required is a medicin which invipor- ates the stomach and promotes assimila- tion of food by the system, by which means the nervous system, as well as other parts of the physical organism, are strengthened. These are the effects of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, medicine whose reputation is founded firmly in public confidence, and which physicians commend for its tonic, anti bilious and other properties. It is used with the best results in fever and ague, rheuma- tism, kidney and uterine weakness, and other maladies.

 river bed. There is practically no limit to the water supply if properly managed, and as the land IS equally unlimited in extent, just how the fates would accom- plish the herculean task of preventing the greatest prosperity in this county ever known since the foundation of the world, is beyond human conjecture
 THE land department announces it's willingness to make more liberal regula- 'tions concerning the disposition of desert land claims. This conclusion is a sensi- ble one and its practical application will result in the reclamation of 6 vast area of now worthless land. The close restrict ions were heretofore imposed for the pur- pose of preventing frauds so far as possi- ble, but they have only been q source of annoyance and actual injury to many set tiers in good faith We confess to GU riosity to look upon the individual who would try to steal section of desert land which he has no intention of re- claiming by developing a water supply. A few of the special agents who report mesquite saplings las timber might be guilty of such piece of stupidity, but no we'll balanced person would do so The policy of the government should be the speedy reclamation of these sterile lands, so they may be made productive and re- munerative. The expense involved in accomplishing this work Is usually great CT than the subsequent value of single section of land after it is provided with the water, and the most liberal induce ments should be offered to enterprises of such great value to the public. The laws require that water for irrigation pur- roses must be procured before title is ac- quired, and it's presence upon the land is sufficient evidence of the good faith of the settler. In fact the general public would be vastly benefited if these barren lands were given away outright to parties who would reclaim them and make them productive. The work is generally be- yond the ability of the poor man and he must call in the aid of capital to accom- plish the task, and there must be induce ments sufficient to engage its attention. Therefore the greatest possible latitude should be given this particular class oi public benefactors even though occasion al frauds do creep in; the good to the greater number of honest settlers vii far more than counterbalance them.

Forged Autographs in Paris.

Forged autographs are snare to be avoided by the wary. In Paris they are largely fabricated, and there you may buy, at no small outlay indeed, letters of Pascal. or of Henry ", or Marguerite de Valois, or indeed of whom you please. Letters in pale ink, OH ancient paper, which almost defy scrutiny and deceive men the most expert. Science, chemistry and the subtle arts of photography will all be employed and combined against you, or you will, perhaps, be tempted by low price to buy Victor Hugo's or George Sands handwriting for a couple of francs, or for couple of louis those of De Musset or Theophile Gautier, and both shall alike be forgeries. For Paris is one of the workshops of the world, where he who has money shall be able to procure all that money may buy, and yet shall l.e fall a victim to the arts of the truqueIr. Home Journal

A Staunton Lady's Sight Seeing in New
York.
For the srAUNToN v1ND1oAToR.]


NEW YORK, March.-In my sight see
ing in this great city this week, 1 saw a
wonderful bird, a Mino, a native of East
India, very rarely seen out of their native
land. A better talker than any parrot
ever discovered. bird of wonderful
longevity, often living to be 100 years old.
The Mino saw was years old, had been
sold for $500 and bought back for $3.50
His vocabulary is quite extensive and he
rather surprised me by looking up in my
face and saying. "Who are you ?" and
when said "Oh, I'm Jennie" he said
with an impudent leer, "You don't say
so."
We spent couple of hours at st. Mary s
Hospital for children. 1t would have
made your heart ache to have seen all the
poor little waits, soma suffering so greatly
that death would have been relief, and
others jolly as could be.

Statue of Liberty. and walked up the inside
of the pedestal out to the balcony 1865 feet
up. Workmen were busy in the statue
itself, so there was no admittance. saw

In Brooklyn, the home of Mr.. Beecher,
the display of mourning for the dead pas
tor was very general. The flags, both
public and private, all over the city, were
at half mast. The City Hall and other
public buildings we're more or less heavily
draped. The entire front of the firsG
named being covered with black, arranged
to look like curtains drawn back from the
windows and tied with white. The pill
lars were all black, and from white rosettes
long black streamers foated on the
breeze. Mr.. Beecher's portrait was des-
played in many public windows and his
well known objection to black as badge
of mourning being respected, the decora-
tions we're in white and purple.
But by far the most elaborate and ar
tistic display was that shown by dry
goods house in Fulton street Brooklyn
This window, as large as the entire front
of any store in Staunton, was arranged
to look like room half octagon in shape,
the sides made of folds of rich white satin,
the floor the same material put down
plain. Five white satin pillars with cap
ital and base made of purple and white
lllacs and trimmed with sprays of smilax
stood at the back. Similar in style, nearer
the front. were two shorter pillars used as
pedestals for two large vases filed with
pink and white roses and buds, and between
these and nearer still to the front was a
life size crayon head of Mr.. Beecher. The
gold frame was artistically draped and al
most entirely concealed by folds of heavy
white plush, at the top of the picture a
white dove lowered with spray OF white
flowers in its bill. At the base of the pic
ture two more doves were sitting amid a
prOfusion of flowers.

Expense of Running a Circus.

Now. there's the matter of the expense
of running circus" said Mr.. Cooke
Few people understand or know anything
about it. When they look at their bill and
read the line AT an enormous expense,
etc., nine out of every ten of them smile
incredulously. By the way, all big cir
cuses employ man especially to write the
programme and other billing matter. Well
the general public, as said, looks upon
all statements of this sort as mere figures
of speech. But can show you clearly
that there is no particular fun in owning
or running large circus. and that there
is little or no exaggeration in the figures
generally given as the expense of operating
the shows.
"Before we exhibit in city at all the
first expense we incur is that OF advertls-
ing. This department alone entails an
expense of about $500 per day. This COW
ers all the outlay necessary to bring the
show before the public eye. and the news
papers naturally get the lions share of it.
The rest is laid out in pictorial paper for
the walls and bill boards, in Autographs
for store windows. in bill posting, livery
hire, etc. You see, we bill every town
within fifty miles Of that in which we halt,
and each country road or school district is
thoroughly canvassed by our bill posters
and mounted buglers latter an inno-
walton OF my own introduced few years
ago. These buglers carry huge bundles
of bills on horse back, and as they ride
through the country. blowing loud blasts
at every farm or cross road, they create a
great sensation. I have often seen the
farm hands leave the pillow and run quar-
ter of mile or more in the scOrching sun
to ascertain what was up, and then, having
found out, walk leisurely back reading
our adver tisements. ''-Neeo York Cor.
